Grade 3, This is how you write your bibliography:Website (year) URLEnchanted Learning (2007) http://www.enchantedlearning.com/inventors/indexl.shtmlCan you make sure that you do this for your report? You will need to show it for each invention and for the nature it was inspired by. That means that you will need 2 resources in your bibliography for each one that you do. You will have a total of 6 for the whole project.

Today in class the Grade 3 learned about writing in their own words. This paragraph came from Enchanted Learning.com. It is been pasted here to show the original source:

LAWN MOWERThe first lawn mower was invented in 1830 by Edwin Beard Budding. Budding (1795-1846) was an engineer from Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. His reel mower was a set of blades set in a cylinder on two wheels. When you push the lawn mower, the cylinder rotates, and the blades cut the grass. Budding patented his lawn mower on August 31, 1830. Before his invention, a scythe was used (or sheep or other grazing animals were allowed to graze on the grass). The first reel lawn mower patent in the US (January 12, 1868) was granted to Amariah M. Hills, who formed the Archimedean Lawn Mower Co.

As a class we wrote this:

Edwin Budding invented the first lawn mower. He came from England. The lawn mower was inspired by a sheep. The lawn mower was invented in 1830.
